I tried a search but couldn't find a definite answer. In the How-To for the DMD install, it says it's optional to replace the crank seal, but it doesn't really say how to do it. Is it a "no-brainer" to replace? I've got the DMD and I'm just waiting for some warmer weather to put it in. I've also got a small oil leak in that general vicinity (that side of the engine anyway, I can't really tell where it's coming from) so I was going to go ahead and put in a new crank seal.
The oil leak is tiny. I wouldn't even worry about it, but it drips onto the exhaust and I get a burning oil smell. Ford replaced the pan gasket (or said they did) back in June under ESP. Either they didn't get it right, or it's leaking from somewhere else. Any other ideas where it might be coming from?
